2. 1. Relaxation and Resonance in Brownian Motion-Coupled Resonators

   Author : Christin Rhen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonequilibrium dynamics; nonlinear dynamics; resonance; nanomechanics; relaxation; superconducting circuits.; resonator; dispersive coupling; noise; Brownian motion;

   Abstract : In physics, there exists a number of paradigm systems – exactly solvable models that can represent a wide variety of physical realizations. My research is concerned with two of these paradigm systems: the harmonic oscillator and Brownian motion. READ MORE

4. 2. The response of model food webs to species loss : secondary extinctions and relaxation times

   Author : Charlotte Borrvall; Richard Law; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Current destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats is predicted to cause great future losses in biodiversity (Pimm et al. 1995; Hughes et al. 1997; Sala et al. 2000). READ MORE

5. 3. Bending and Mending the Neurosignature : Elicting the Relaxation Response with help of Flotation-REST ( Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique) in Patients with Stress Related Pain

   Author : Sven-Åke Bood; Torsten Norlander; Gun Nordström; Lars-Gösta Dahlöf; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Burn-out; flotation-REST; pain; prolactin; relaxation response; stress; attention; depression; placebo.; Psychology; Psykologi; Psykologi; Psychology;

   Abstract : Abstract. The overarching purpose of the current thesis was to assess the long term effects of a documented treatment program involving flotation-REST for the experience of pain, from the point of view of variables connected with Melzack´s neuromatrix theory, and to examine the extent of a potential attention-placebo effect in connection with flotation-REST.

6. 4. Time-dependent relaxation of charge and energy in electronic nanosystems

   Author : Jens Schulenborg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heat current; quantum dot; relaxation rate; rate detection; generalization of hermiticity; nonunitary dynamics; open quantum system; Coulomb charging energy; voltage switch; transient response; electronic nanosystem;

   Abstract : The study of the dynamics of strongly confined, interacting open quantum systems has attracted great interest over the past years, due to potential applications in nanoelectronics, metrology as well as quantum information. Most recent experimental and theoretical research in this field has shifted attention towards electronic heat currents, recognizing their potential for practical purposes as well as for tests of fundamental theories, and also aiming to control the inevitable heat dissipation of any dynamically operated electronic device.

7. 5. Domestication Effects on the Stress Response in Chickens : Genetics, Physiology, and Behaviour

   Author : Amir Fallahshahroudi; Per Jensen; Frank Albert; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Animal domestication; stress response; gene expression; QTL; eQTL;

   Abstract : Animal domestication, the process where animals become adapted to living in proximity to humans, is associated with the alteration of multiple traits, including decreased fearfulness and stress response. With an estimated population of 50 billion, the domesticated chicken is the most populous avian species in the world. READ MORE
